Trade Deadline: Shane Victorino appears likely to be traded 07.30.12 at 11:44 am ET
By Jon Lemons

Shane Victorino

Shane Victorino’s long run with the Phillies appears to be nearing an end.

ESPN.com’s Jerry Crasnick tweets that the Phillies “have too many trade options for Victorino to fathom that he’ll stay put.”

Crasnick lists the Dodgers, Reds, Pirates and Giants among the teams linked to Victorino, who makes $9.5 million this season. The 31-year-old center fielder becomes a free agent at season’s end.

Victorino is hitting .261 this season with nine home runs, 40 RBIs, and 24 stolen bases. A lifetime .277 hitter, Victorino joined the Phillies in 2005 and has played the entirety of his major league career in Philadelphia with the exception of a brief stint for the Padres in 2003.

    Some people don’t know when to shut up, other’s don’t know how.
    I do know the C’s will show up on Wednesday and give it all they have.
    Go C’s!

  • Radareau

    Lot of arrogance for a team that hasn’t won a championship in forever and is not going to this year either.

  • Bruinman86

    As much as I hate to admit it, he’s probably right. If it took the Celts OT just to scrape out one win at home in 2 games, not much chance they win in NY with their inconsistency and poor Defense – especially in the post against Mello.
    .

  • Bruinman86

    Nope, it won’t happen this year. Miami should wipe the floor with them.

  • mike

    We will see you Friday Keyon. See you Friday!

  • Jose

    Yeah Kenyon you better back your talk Wednesday, cause if you lose, you will be in trouble.

  • Bill

    Anyone else read the headline and think “Why would K-Mart stores have a beef with the Celtics?”?

  • Kevin Garnett

    I guarentee that K-mart will be a no factor in that game!!!

  • Allen

    I beg to differ, Not a fan of either team but you’re blind if you don’t think the Knicks will give the heat a run for their money!!

  • dom

    I agree with you Bruinmain86, the statement is just funny coming from a guy that’s averaging like 6 point per game.

  • fab4ever

    The true irony is KMart….a supreme trasher…what you have here is bone on bone….2 meatheads…between them they might be able to phrase a paragraph intelligently.

    Last minute pickup who wants the headlines.

    I hope Kenyon Martin is correct. Should the Celtics take it to 6 and lose, it’ll just provide justifcation amongst pink-hats to keep it together for next season.
    “The Celtics took the EC’s 2nd seed to 6 games … Just Imagine the damage they could’ve done WITH Rondo. If healthy, this 2014 team could be dangerous” And I love this line: “besides Miami, the Eastern Conference is wide open”. I can already hear Mikey Adams saying it now.
    Not routing against the Celtics, per se; but this keeping this team together is futile. Lose in 5, blow it up and get serious about building a contender (it’s going to take some time)
    Besides, I can’t bear to watch any more of Carmelo Anthony and Pierce play hero ball. CA is infinitely worse than PP, but their shot selections in Game 4 made me embarassed to be an NBA fan.

  • jsspam

    why is trash talking news worthy? im sure the guys say alot worse than this

  • Bruinman86

    I loved seeing his Nets teams lose in the finals back in the ‘Toine and Peirce days of the C’s. Talk about an unlikable team. K-Mart and Jason Kidd…..oh wait, they’re Knicks as well! I can’t stand him as a player, but My feeling that he is right.

  • Bruinman86

    He’s a former star who hasn’t yet realized that those days are long gone…. No Title for him!

  • Bruinman86

    They can give them a run, no doubt, but my gut tells me no. The same gut that told me Knicks in 6. Looks more like Knicks in 5. Close enough. I just think Miami is more experienced and has yet to bring their game up to the next level in the playoffs.

  • walters2487

    Kinda funny. But I agree that this is pretty mild for trash talking.

  • Great Satan

    Knicks haven’t done anything to impress me at all, Celtics could of won 1 of the games in New York , Celtics didn’t show up game 3 and game 4 is a win..But for the Knicks to get all cocky and think they are gonna win a championship because you beat a Celtics team that doesn’t have a point guard..lol. Rondo..Big deal if they beat the Celtics, I hate to say it but Miami looks too good

  • Great Satan

    By the way, if they called the game FAIRLY, Anthony aka Cherios would foul out every game!..who died and made him Lebron James? lol..He pushes off to get position FOUL, he can’t defend, he’s all over whoever he guards..FOUL..
    Reverse it, Celtics guard him the same way, FOUL..Laughable..and that European player they got, Flops like a fish..FINE HIM

    He right
    The Celtics will get destroyed Wednesday and it took everything they had to win Sunday. Garnet only gets rebounds when there is no.one else under the basket. The Celtics should of got rid of Pierce after 2008 because once he got that ring he has suck ever since.

    KG talks more trash than anyone in the League .. NO ONE in Boston has issues when it’s HIM talking trash; NO ONE should now have issues with K-Mart talking trash.

  • http://twitter.com/Matt_kern64 Mathew Kern

    If They’ve done nothing to impress you and still are up 3-1 and almost came back to win a game they were 20 down in, that should tell you something about where the C’s are now.

  • http://twitter.com/Matt_kern64 Mathew Kern

    Neither are the C’s

  • Joshreyes

    This is the reason why no one picked you up early when you were nowhere K-Mart. You can take your oh-so-awful-and-ugly-jumpshot back to New York and shove it up your a**

  • Marcus Camby

    The knicks aren’t that good. Unfortunately the C’s have been worse so far this series… Heat would sweep this knicks team barring a lebron injury

  • Ty

    Yeah… except Kevin Garnett doesn’t go running to the Daily News to talk trash, he does it on the court (except when he’s roasting Sager and his ridiculous clothes during interviews lol)

  • ken

    Easy to talk trash when your opponent is not fully manned. You better come to play K-mart because the “C’s” are.
